Description
This nautical chart shows the southern part of the North Sea with the adjacent coasts of England (including much of Kent, Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk), Holland and Flanders (Belgium and the Pas de Calais). Offshore features, notably depths and sandbanks are marked, include the Broad Fourteens. Many coastal towns and villages are named. The chart had first been published 1671-1672 by John Darby in John Seller's "The English Pilot". The chart extends northwards along the English coast from Rye in Kent to Holkham in Norfolk, and from Calais in France to Amsterdam, Edam and Harlingem in The Netherlands. A compass rose appears centrally on the chart and the mileage scale appears in the lower right corner
